South America > Curaçao

Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean, has a rum history as rich as its turquoise waters. The 17th century saw a golden age of sugarcane, with over 100 plantations dotting the landscape. While the famed Curaçao liqueur isn’t rum-based, the island does have an operating rum distillery since 1945. Their rum draws inspiration from Spanish traditions, using column stills for molasses distillation and ageing the spirit in ex-bourbon barrels. This heritage, alongside the island’s natural beauty, offers a compelling reason for rum enthusiasts to explore Curaçao.
